The Scripps Networks Interactive lifestyle channel HGTV has moved a step closer to being launched in Poland.
According to Wirtualne Media, the country’s National Broadcasting Council (KRRiT) has given permission for TVN, which is owned by Scripps, to change the name of TVN Meteo Active, one of its thematic channels, to HGTV.
As previously reported in Broadband TV News, last month TVN indicated that it planned to introduce HGTV into the Polish market at the beginning of next year.
Following KRRiT’s decision, it will now be able to do so from January 7, 2017 onwards.
